What did you guys think about the video?
Very comprehensive! I have an endeavor pro with softer bushings and an zeus and I'm from long island if you ever want to ride👋
@@odysseyrider05 ofc man dm me on insta and we’ll plan a ride in the city
I think i skated with you guys in Miller when i first got my Meepo Shuffle V4 some weeks back. If that was you, we tried each others' boards and your Hurricane was an absolute beast in comparison. Looking to upgrade now and debating between the Hurricane and the Endeavor Pro. Glad to have found your video, but unfortunately i still don't know what i want. leaning towards the Endeavor... thanks for the review edit: i ordered the endeavor. hope the wait time isn't insane lol
@@danielilov Yes lmao glad that you found this video lol dm on insta and we can ride sometime
I literally paused the video because I was so impressed that I have to compliment you. I am 61 years old and I was probably skateboarding (and surfing and snowboarding - my oldest one was made in the 1960s called the SKURFER) before your parents were born!?!?!?! I am not Saying that to be condescending I'm saying that Because I want you to know that I love your video approach, technique or style whatever you want to call it. It is very calm and precise with some nice background tunes. You pointed out some very important details that I had never heard mentioned in other reviews. I have been watching review videos for at least 5 years and still have not bought one. Technology keeps advancing so fast I always want the newest Technology but also want the best price and those 2 never coincide at the same time ARGHHH. What I want is an awesome all terrain (but not extreme terrain) hub motor board with pneumatic tires. It doesn't have to go faster than 25mph. Does it exist?
Just to clarify, max motor ratings are NOT the same as how powerful the board is. TO learn how many watts are actually being delivered, theres an equation involving cell discharge, amps available via vesc, etc. Most rack boards are between 300 and 800 watts per motor. The reason you use a motor with a 2500,3000 or 3500w max is for headroom. This keeps motors from overheating.
I mentioned that Propel doesn't use peak power if you watched the video, was just listing specs. Same goes to the Meepo Hurricane
Best video I found on YT on this subject. You got everything from specs, comparation, testing and opinions. Also editing and sound *chefs kiss*
great review/comparison mate, it's easy to see the huge amount of time went into it. thanks for the in-depth information, you helped me choose the Propel🤙🏽
Hey quick question which propel did you go with because I'm thinking of going with the endeavor 1s. Have you liked to so far and anything wrong.
@@phelix6664 hey mate, i havent purchased anything to date, sorry i cant help you with your question..
Great video man, first one that's truly independent and highly in depth. Keep up the good work
Thank you man let me know what content you would like to see next!
This an amazing review, another sub
🔥 🔥🔥 this was great man
Thank you bro
Great quality footage bra and editing
great video, pretty much covered everything , cheers!
Great video! Very well done 🔥
probably the most non-bias, best board review ever. great job man. my hurricane is on it’s way, i think. i ordered it yesterday, still haven’t got tracking info. (my first ever e-board btw)
Thank you man appreciate it!
I got a Pro2 on the way Friday Can't wait .I already have two of the X4s and trampa spur gear and some other boards .This will make a nice addition .
All the different clips throughout the video are so entertaining. I could watch you weave in and out of traffic all day🤣
Maybe I should start making weaving content?
@@esk8nyc that'd be sick

@@esk8nyc that’s dope bro thank you ❤️
Excellent Vid. All things considered, weather, road conditions, it was VERY Through…. Definitely Helpful in matching “ a Riders wants, needs, skillset” Much Thanks !!!! MORE IS BETTERRR!!!
Thank you 🙏 appreciate it
Great video👍would love to see a comparison video between the hurricane and the Eovan super 😁
great video man!!!
Good video! I ride my hurricane on level 4 with the throttle pinned down curvy mountain roads. It’s a blast.
Great comparison Video! Thanks
Love my Hurricane and now just purchased the Endeavor PRO. Thanks for this video!
Great video on the comparison. How much range do you think you would get on the meepo hurricane if it was ridden in the summer on a nice sunny day. By the way great comparison, the detail you put in this is incredible.
If I were to go full speed on a Sunny nice day I’d say around 18-20 miles. If I were to cruise around and casually ride I’d say around 25miles if I don’t go up any hills
Very cool. I'd love to try an Endeavor Pro bro. See what I did there? Thanks again for your help in Vegas man.
Ofc man 🔥
Merci pour ce comparatif très complet et très détaillé ! Beau travail une fois de plus. Connaissez vous la marque française Evo spirit? Ils proposent une planche comparable à la meepo mais avec une garantie de 2 ans! Une revue de cette board serait intéressante à faire. Encore merci.
Pas de problème heureux d'aider. Oui j'ai entendu parler de la marque. Si j'ai l'occasion de revoir le tableau, je ferai une vidéo dessus 👍
Nice video bro :)
Thank you bro appreciate it
Hey idk if you saw but propel sells different bushings now and people in their Facebook said it made a huge difference in maneuverability.
Yep Propel sells new bushings, new Propel Endeavor 2 came out with an increase in power and top speed
Okay, I commute into the city from CT and have the joyous trek from GCT to midtown. To not lose my mind I copped a boosted mini X like 8 months before they went belly up. Say that because, as you mention in the vid, weaving in and out of traffic is a must. Now, I recently had my worst and really only fall in the years of doing this commute. It was on the miserable park Ave, where like every other block has that metal joint/separation? You probably know what I'm talking about. Anyway, late night at work, rushing to catch the train, one of the joints caught me by surprise (bad on me for not having lights). I went over fine but didn't have the confidence in my urethane wheels to make it so I bailed. Stepped off but going too fast and fell forward. Messed up wrist and cracked a rib, annoying but more than anything mad at nyc for having shit roads and worse bike lanes ( the few they have). So I took a spell off the board for a bit to heal and Corona closed my office anyway. Fast forward a few weeks and I take the board out in the cold for a short errand and ruin my battery by running it too low. Red light fun. SOO, I'm over correcting and getting a board that'll eat up anything those streets can give out. Question for you is, were you ultimately able to weave in traffic with the propel? If so, if there were some type of after market handle would it work to tow it around given how wide the trucks are? Seems like the meepo would be my obvious choice, but I'm not digging the esc feature with the hill. The boosted managed downhill tremendously, so I can't not have that ability in my board. The propel seems massive, but I'm liking the idea of flying through Park ave again without a care. Not sure the standard "at" production boards can really do that with just the pneumatic wheels but let me know if otherwise. Ideally the exway atlas would be my number one but their range is bottom tier and I'm hearing bad experiences with exeay as of late. If you had a ~$3k budget (I'd spend more for the perfect option, just not seeing it) given I'm using it for commute, range, reliability, availability, subdued styling (office job afterall), and handling nyc roads are my priorities what other boards should I consider? The hammer maybe? I dunno, feel like most reviews are bought and paid for. But you seem legit and at least know the struggle of nyc roads so curious your thoughts. Good vid btw, keep it up. And watch out for those bus lanes. Those guys have tried to run me over many o'time! Ha
Funny thing is I hit those metal sheets before when I used to own a backfire g2 black which flew me at least 5 feet down the street. Luckily I was able to land on the metal sheet so I didn’t end up with any road burns or anything just a injured knee. Anyways I think your making a great purchase and I think 3k is more than enough to get a good AT board. If I was you I would most definitely do the Hurricane because Manhattan traffic is pretty bad and also you will be able to get caught up with traffic. I’m not saying the Propel can’t do that either but it’s more wider and you are riding in NYC so there might be some spaces you won’t be able to fit through. The Propel does also have a wider turning radius but I saw a video on Propels Facebook where some guy made a custom bushing that goes underneath the suspension that allows him to do a U-turn on a one way street. Personally I’d go for the Hurricane this board will give so much adrenaline and you will confident enough to pass cars in flowing traffic. However I have experienced some crappy roads in NYC with my Hurricane and it was bumpy but not too bad. I’ll also tell you one thing once you put on AT wheels the fear of the roads completely goes away and you’ll be confident enough to ride on any street at full speed. Overall the choice is yours you can get the BMW aka Hurricane that will be sporty, nimble and easy to carry around. Or you can get the Mercedes aka Propel Endeavor which will be the most comfortable board ever. Oh yeah one more think you will get a-little more range with the Propel too Idk if longer range is a need for you but it’s surely enough in my Hurricane.
I have the Propel and I too would recommend going with the hurricane. Propel simply isn't nimble enough for your use case and it's incredibly bulky and awkward to carry (I would never go grocery shopping with it). I commute to work every day on an eskate and I find the smaller, "sportier" boards to be way more fun in the city. Propel is an off road king though. Regarding AT wheels, trust me you'll have no problems going over anything the city throws at you.
so it looks like you have 2 horns in the front and some type of battery box in the back. can you share what they are and how you operate the horns via the remote. how have you connected everything. thanks upfront and thanks for the video
I gotcha man
*New comment* If you want to see more in depth about the car horns I have a recent video about it
Hey nice video!! I’ve been looking at the Propel endeavor s and the onsra black carve 2 or 3. What lights are on the boards? Have you tried shred lights?
They are shred lights lol they are great but I don’t use shredlights anymore now I use motorcycle headlights
@@esk8nyc ah ok lol thanks I'ma have to consider that
@@duderilreez Besides Meepo and Propel AceDeck video is dropping soon stay tuned
U didn't say which board was better, and do they work good with no charge
That’s up to you to decide both boards are great but everyone has their preference
Hey dude, I have the Hurricane and the Endeavor S. Plus a few other boards. Great vid and great information. You may want to check that warranty. They say they have a twelve and six month warranty, but it is really a six and three month warranty. What these board manufactures do is warranty one piece for twelve months and then say they have a twelve month warranty when the key components are only warrantied for six months. Seriously, dig into the warranty and you will see what I am saying. I really like the Propel design, but the Endeavor S battery life is horrible. The LingYi in the Endeavor S is not that great either. With some modes, the Endeavor S could be a great board...and something I will have to do. The Hurricane on the other hand is pretty good out of the box. Not as good a my Zeus, but pretty close. I agree with you on the Hurricane ESC...that thing is great. The VESC in the Eovan GTS is GREAT....love that VESC. Sorry, I digress. Again, great vid. Keep up the work!!
Thank you, I totally agree about the warranty, but at the end of the day the board is in our hands and we have to take proper care of it. Also I am not surprised if the Propel Endeavor S due to its price so they had to do a few things here and there, but I highly recommend you get the Endeavor Pro. the acceleration curve is really smooth on the Flipsky ESC and the power is great for such a heavy board. Mind if I ask what do you like about the Zeus that makes it better than the Hurricane in your opinion? Ik a lot of people like the stability of the Zeus and Speed but is there anything else?
Hey I'm thinking of getting the Endeavor Pro for a street/sidewalk commute. I'm 205 with a combined weight with backpack of 210. Thes research I've done doesn't really take the rider that is 220 31 miles. I only need to go 15 miles. Do you recommend this board for me. I have quite a bit of hills to deal with. A gain of at least 250 ft by the time I get to work. Thoughts?
What’s going on with the front of your hurricane,looks like shredlights and something else, just intrigued by the two circular things on front?
Meepo Hurricane Modification video is out
If you had to pick one for street riding in the city which one would you go with?
Probably hurricane less heavy and more portable packed with power
I enjoyed this, the range is the only thing making me 2nd guess with the hurricane since im 225. I like everything else though. Have you ridden the Zeus?
No I have not but I heard it’s slower in acceleration but it has a high top speed and it’s stable. You would be able to ride at 225 on the Meepo Hurricane, it would just consume more battery
@@esk8nyc yeah. Zeus just got an updated esc, I'm curious how it stacks up now.
@@Catamount19 Maybe as powerful as the propel endeavor pro?
@@esk8nyc I can't wait to see some vids on it.
Does that light strip come on the hurricane or is that something you can install onto other boards?
No it’s not I DIY it on the hurricane
@@esk8nyc can u link it? I’d like to put that on my endeavor pro 2 when it gets here
@@primary7208 it’s in the video description
Check my Meepo modifications video, the link is there
well done great video and i agree with the fact meepo stock tires are trash 2 of mine are worn out after 300km of riding
I’m on 965km of riding 😂 I recommend you switch out your front and back tires to preserve the back tires
@@esk8nyc im rocking evolves 6 inch tires on the meepo now much better quality
@@jimmypatel1702 does it affect the top speed or range? Because I was worried it would
@@esk8nyc doesnt seem like it
Спасибо за обзор!
В любой момент!
What is the thing on top of the hurricane? Is that a light ??
The light and car horns 😂😂😂
Where did you get the horns for the meepo hurricane. I need them
Video is out
Where did you get water resistant rating for the Endeavor pro, I haven't been able to find information on that
The power of the internet
The internet is lying, Propel is not water resistant at all. Drizzle proof but I wouldn't take it through a mildly deep puddle
@@jinxedblz Yea don’t recommend it at all
What led lights did you use on the hurricane? Would like a pair
Shred lights
@@esk8nyc Sorry again but what are those led lights on the side of the meepo hurricane. The one that has different colours.
@@adamvci9282 Those are LED strip lights RGBIC that I installed
@@esk8nyc Thanks
How about speed wobbles on the propel?
The speed wobbles on the propel and mainly caused by not tightening the bushings and loose springs however you can easily adjust the spring tensioning and bushings to make it more stable with less turn
Would you mind sharing what lights you use on the meepo hurricane?
The led strip lights?
@@esk8nyc yes including the front the rear lights
@@demetriusxiv8326 the front and rear lights are called Shredlights and the LED Strip lights are called Govee LED strip lights
What's the difference in comfort level when riding on street and off road?
For street you don’t really feel a difference when you ride on both. You really feel more comfort on the propel when you hit larger pot holes and go off-road on more uneven terrain
Do a video of what you have attached to your board.
Video is out 🔥
good stuff: i skimmed through it. did u put them up against each other in a race? cant wait to ride in NYC again soon
Yea there are some clips of it, if you want to see it , you can check the description below!
Have you gotten any flat tires from your riding? I have this fear of blowing out a tire while going fast. I keep reading that the 155mm on the Hurricane are prone to blowing out
Yes they wear out too quickly and worn out tires can lead to more flats
@@esk8nyc How did you get around the issue? Different brand, upgrading within Meepo, or back to rubber/cloud wheels? I wanted pneumatics because rubbers were tough on my knees when I was doing 18 mile rides. Any suggestions? Great videos btw
@@tommysrp7635 kzhead.info/sun/ntiLlJeQgouwpJs/bejne.html
@@tommysrp7635 Check put this video I use trampas they last me for 1000miles
@@esk8nyc Awesome thanks!
nice vid! what are those items/do you have at the front and rear of the meepo?
Two car horns in front and a battery pack to power those horns
Can you show how you set up the leds on the hurricane ? Did you have to cut them ?
Yes I will release that video soon
If you don’t mind me asking how did you get the strips in parallel if you had to cut them ? Did you buy 2 led controllers ?
@@dvdtv1234 No I used one strip
Along the center? And do you use a battery pack or a usb on the hurricane ?
@@dvdtv1234 yes
I think its a great video but I'm so confused. The propel states a 220 rider can go 31 miles but your study doesn't even come close to that. I'm 205 and looking for a 15 mile communte, with hills, and I'm pretty nervous that I won't make it. Not interested in going 31 miles per hour. 20 is plenty for me. Why am I doing this? To save money on a yearly basis. Any thoughts? Also, the Meepo lasts 500 charge cycles but you weren't clear on the Propel. If I have to change the battery every year, I'll have to take that into the potential savings. Also, how many batteries does the Propel use. 1, 2...Thanks for your time.
Hey honestly for the Propel my friend is 200lbs and he wouldn’t really get 31mph all the time only if he went a slight slope. Also for the charge cycles Propel never stated how many charge cycles these cells have but Molicel is one of the top cells in the market right now with a high discharge rate for aggressive riding. However you said you wanted a chill commute so I think the Propel is the right one for you the cells have a larger capacity so you will definitely get more range and it will help because your a 220lbs rider. Lastly the battery can definitely last more than a year it’s how you use the battery and you have to properly take care of it.
@@esk8nyc wow thanks man for the quick response. I really appreciate your video. It helps with purchasing. Do you know how many batteries you have to have for the Propel? Is the propel slow going up hills?
@@robertovelarde_staff-marti9696 If you watch the uphill test 6:01 I explain it there. The Hurricane is definitely better at hill climb than the Propel but that’s only in speed mode 4. The High mode on the propel has better hill climb than speed mode 3 on the hurricane. And speed mode 3 will be higher than medium mode in the Propel Endeavor Pro.
@@robertovelarde_staff-marti9696 I’m not sure how many cells the Endeavor has
Nice 👍
Interesting
Meepo hurricane 🌀 out of the box 📦 for me
What, Hurricane advertises like 44 mile range and it only does around 20??
Every Electric skateboard company advertises range that you would get if you were 160lbs going 10mph on flat smooth terrain no wind no acceleration no braking constant cruising speed. Realistically under real world conditions that range they advertised is most likely going to be lower. Meepo Claims 44miles range with the 90mm wheels and 31miles with the AT Wheels. I was able to get 32miles of range on tires going 5-10mph the whole time 😂. The faster you go tho the more energy you use so with fast and aggressive riding style you will get less range
Probably worth noting both of these have way more power than you'd ever need short of doing raw runs in highway traffic lol
Exactly
These e boards are sick AF
Which one you like better?
@@esk8nycThe Meepo Hurricane mostly because the horns make it look like alien eyes haha
@@jaystyles33 oh yeah that was my old design you could check out my new video, looks so much better
Nice review. I think the Propel Endeavor has 2*25amps to the motors. It is the battery discharge that is the bottleneck, not the Vesc. Have you checked the amp ratings in the Vesc? Because I think the difference is more like 20Amps (10amps each motor) less on the Propel, and not the 5 Amps you are mentioning. To make it simple, the Hurricane has 40% more power then the propel. The initial torque on the Propel would be the same but going higher then 20km/h, the Hurricane will accellerate faster (on the lower voltage/speed the max motor Amps can be used but then this amps will drop to 25amps at the top speed)
That makes more sense, I’m curious to see what the amp ratings is I would have to get the propel and plug it in. But I also feel like no matter how high your make the Amos for each motor the Meepo Hurricane will still win because it even has an insane acceleration when your at a cruising speed.
I'm jealous NYC riding style, you can't really do that in Jersey, people are absolutely going to drift into me. Mostly single lanes right over the GWB.
Oh I would never do that in Jersey probably get run over by a Semi. But your close to NYC so you should definitely come!
@@esk8nyc Oh, no doubt, my boards are eating shit rn, range anxiety is killing me with 1000+ miles. I'm shoppin' around for a Hurricane or a Zeus. Thinking the p42a ... was thinking about the eovan but that battery might not last as long as I care for it to
@@acekeianar are you a carver a or speed demon?
@@esk8nyc Both... I think I carve way too much at high speeds and that's not helping my range . EDIT: I love both; to properly answer your question.
@@acekeianar Get the Hurricane based off of my riding experience
Aye
Customer support is terrible from meepo, took them 5 days to respond to my warranty claim
Well customer support usually responds on the weekdays and if anything you can also contact them from Instagram & Facebook
My Endeavor pro charges in 3.5 hours, tops
So you probably got the S
I mean nice vid but you littleraly run a red at 2:37
I ran it because the green left arrow traffic light was on which means either side is red for the cars and only the left lane cars can make a left only. If there was a car coming from the other end to make a left I would’ve waited at the light.
Guy from Minnesota: You guys drive like barbarians through the streets.
you should do tests yourself instead of reading numbers from the official website. From what I could tell, the watt number on electric skateboards are meaningless. The motors are rarely used at their peak power, and often can't even hit the claimed peak ratting.
Um did you watch the whole video?
@@esk8nyc I am sorry, but I lost my patience when i keep getting numbers for 5 minutes straight.
Ok guy's i get the meepo hurricane after 2 month and half waiting... I get bad surprise when i open the box, the belt guard was broken and one wheel was deformed and had a flat part what is dangerous. I wrote to customer service to explain and asked for new tire and belt guard, Bonnie write me and tried to say it is my fault not them, I am liar, I broke it... I took pics and videos of broken part to show Bonnie that I didn't ride yet with it. Finally after more than 25 message she said sorry and tell me they will send me belt guard but nothing about the tire, she said I have to repair it what is not possible. Now I write to them but without any answers. ⚠️ WARNING ⚠️ Meepo has a bad customer service Finally I don't recommend this brand because if you have any problem you can't get satisfaction.
I don’t what experience you had with Bonnie but I was sent two inner tubes twice for getting a flat tire and their customer support is great man
@@esk8nyc Same with me.
@@Pattower I’m glad that others are getting the great customer support as well
@GeeKIller interesting 🤔
I bought a Meepo Hurricane bz their website said IP67 waterproof. I though "oh good my AT will be waterproof" called customer service they said no its IP55 then refused to give me back my money without taking 8% and a hefty paypal fee. Luckily paypal gave me my money back! I had to show screenshots of my dialogue with their customer service rep.
Do not buy propel they do not stand behind quality. I have a thousand dollar paperweight
Debatable
You’ve out done yourself 😭
